Synopsis
In a society that defines women in relation to motherhood, those who choose to remain child-free are seen as selfish, incomplete. Jane Bartlett has interviewed 50 women - those who have chosen to be sterilized in their 20s, others who can "never say never", but postpone ambivalences, women in their 60s who are happy with their choice, and infertile women who have none. They speak of how their own childhoods shaped their frustration at the pressures placed upon them and they express their sense of freedom.

From the Back Cover
For the first time women are speaking openly about their decision to remain child-free. Safe, reliable contraception and the opening up of paid employment are two of the major factors which have broadened possibilities for women and created the climate of choice. Motherhood has been a subject of debate since the 1970s, when the feminist movement sought to make connections between motherhood and women's political and social position.
